Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs Egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Use 8 large eggs for this recipe, ensuring no yolk is mixed in.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy. This will help incorporate air into the eggs, yielding a fluffier texture.
Add salt and black pepper to the frothy egg whites, gently mixing them in with a whisk.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the olive oil, allowing it to warm up for about a minute.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds or until the edges start to set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently stir the egg whites, lifting and folding them over from the edges to the center. Be careful not to over-stir or vigorously mix, as this can break down the airiness.
Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring every few seconds, until the egg whites are just set and no longer runny. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the scrambled egg whites from the heat. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chives, if desired.
